Why GlideDateTime doesn't works in object?

[Fabrizio Joaqui]

i tried to take this date, but GlideDateTime doesn't works inside Object:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime("2011-08-31 08:00:00");
var date = gdt.getDate()
gs.info(date)

var obj = {};

obj.date = new GlideDateTime("2011-08-31 08:00:00");
gs.info(JSON.stringify(obj));

//Output

/*
*** Script: 2011-08-31
*** Script: {"date":{}}
*/

how can i fix this?

i solved it like this:

obj.date = new GlideDateTime("2011-08-31 08:00:00").getDate().toString();

Hi @Fabrizio Joaqui ,

You are correct that the GlideDateTime class does not work inside objects. This is because the GlideDateTime class is not a plain JavaScript object and does not have the ability to be serialized into a JSON string.

One way to work around this issue is to store the string representation of the GlideDateTime object in the object. Here's an example of how you can do this:

var gdt = new GlideDateTime("2011-08-31 08:00:00");
var date = gdt.getValue();

var obj = {};
obj.date = date;
gs.info(JSON.stringify(obj));

Output :-

Hi @Fabrizio Joaqui,

Try this updated scripts -

var gdt = new GlideDateTime("2011-08-31 08:00:00");
var date = gdt.getDate()
gs.info(date)

var obj = {};

obj.date = new GlideDateTime("2011-08-31 08:00:00").toString();

gs.info(JSON.stringify(obj));

// Output -
// *** Script: 2011-08-31
// *** Script: {"date":"2011-08-31 08:00:00"}
